Is that normal and does it eventually go away? I'm taking <Not Permitted> Estradiol orally.

It did not happen to me and my T levels finally got pretty low, 19 ng/dl. I feel as full of energy as I ever did. Although I have read it happening to some others here I don't think it's necessarily normal or at least it can be avoided with diet and exercise.

With the small amount of food you are eating, it's more likely you don't have enough food to keep your body going and your body has entered starvation mode. You need to talk to your doctor about diet and eat enough food to keep going but yet restrict your intake enough that you lose the weight you want to lose.
Up your calories a bit, make sure you're getting enough protein and drink lots more water.
I wouldn't say I had fatigue, but was definitely more easily tired within 2 weeks of starting. Fwiw I started on spiro & E at the same time.
The body adjusts, and these feelings should pass if your diet is good.
You're sending your body into puberty, so try to visualize how a healthy teenager eats ;). Well, maybe tone it down a touch if you're older, but know that the body requires energy to facilitate change

On Spiro, you need to eat enough salt and drink enough water. Sometimes, too little E if T is low will result in these symptoms. Malnutrition, also, of course. And depression not related to hormones.
I went through that. The physician's assistant who is working with me explained that the drop in testosterone can be associated with a drop in energy. After a few months, the fatigue went away and I've felt great since -- good energy levels and overall a happy body.
